The paper deals with the role of culture, especially literature, in conceptual and ideological preparation, implementation and, particularly, the later textual memorialisation of the Sarajevo Assassination. Special attention was paid to the so-called Young Bosnia literature and its tradition, especially to two poems: Prva proljetna pjesma [The First Spring Poem] (1914) by Ivo Andric and Umiranje [Dying] (1914/1915?) by Gavrilo Princip. These two poems are two extremely important early examples of the memorialisation of the Sarajevo Assassination and the Young Bosnia generation in what is the literary practice of the Young Bosnia and its tradition. Both texts reveal some of the essentially important Young Bosnia self-representations, but also some of the important aspects related to the issue of the conceptual and ideological preparation, implementation and later memorial textualisation of the Sarajevo Assassination and the Young Bosnian movement.

Semsudin Sarajlic does not represent a major development in the Bosniac literature. However, not even a diachrony of the religious Bosniac poetry of the 20th century should be without his religious songs. This is true mainly of his Mawlud, which has still not acquired its rightful place in the Bosniac Mawlud tradition.

The paper deals with (self-)imaginative representation of Bosnia in Derviš Sušić’s collection of stories Pobune and novel Uhode. In these two Sušić’s works, we tried to examine common images of Bosnia, which are a product, on the one hand, of historically inherited imagination from ‘outside’, due to occupation of Bosnia by different colonial powers, and particular imagination from ‘inside’, on the other hand. These imaginations will frequently overlap in Derviš Sušić’s work

The purpose of this paper is to compare the modern concept of time by “placing” William Faulkner’s (1897-1962) novels: The Sound and the Fury (1929), Light in August (1932), Absalom, Absalom! (1936), Go Down, Moses (1942), and Meša Selimović’s (1910-1982) prose works: Death and the Dervish (Derviš i smrt, 1966), The Fortress (Tvrđava, 1970), The Island (Ostrvo, 1974)
and Memories (Sjećanja, 1976). The aim of this paper is to compare the perception of time in the selected prose of these two writers within the context of the sum of combined intelligences.
The topic will be explored by applying the thoughts of Einstein, Nietzsche, Bergson, Eliade, Freud and Jung. In their modern literary works, both Faulkner and Selimović transpose time into space, and time/space becomes a major player in their works. Accordingly, special attention will be given to the perception and (non)sense of time and space in their modern prose.

Two, and only novels, by Marsela Šunjić belong to two streams of war letters: war and post-war. The plot of the novel Laku noć, grade will follow three separate, delimited interpretations of truth, history and meaning. Entering text in the intimate drama documentary strategies, contributes to the total collapse of cultural values , urges apsurdity of ”our” and ’’their” narratives, and is faced with a symbolic Other, as an external decentralized starting point of decentralization. On the other hand, the second novel, Puno pozdrava s mjeseca, chronicles the lives of Bosnian refugees in America.

The work will include novelistic opus of Bisera Alikadic, that is, the novels The Grub and The Circle. Emphasis will be put on recognizing of denial of cannonized cultural model in the first novel in Bosnia and Herzegovinian literature that was written by a woman (The Grub) , and then, in the novel (The Circle) ,as well as on recognizing of freed speech that detabooizes imposed linguistic and cultural cannon which enables Bisera Alikadic to imagine woman's gender identity which except the process of her physically coming to senses, also begins the process of her auto(re)identification. Literary theoretical approach will also include recognizing of opus patterns known as fiction in jeans , which is among other things, this opus left on the margin of dominant literary cannon.

This paper in fact is a draft consisting of 20 items which pose the hypotheses about the ways in which Derviš Sušić used poetical principles of postmodernism in his triptych A. It includes questions which refer to elements of postmodern poetics in this novel.
